After some delays that extended into the Covid Pandemic, the clinic was finally completed and inaugurated in September 2023 by Hazrat Khalifatul Masih V (aba) in Germany, where it was built by Humanity First Germany (coordinated and supported by Humanity First UK). The clinic will now be delivered to Uganda where the greatest need has been identified by Humanity First.

With the implementation of these desalination units, over 12,000 individuals in Gaza now have access to clean water.

The Trustees from the date of signing this Trustees Report will continue to monitor developments.
The Charity is reliant on voluntary donations from its members in the United Kingdom. During the year, the charity has continued to grow with increased contributions from members.
After a period of reduced activity during the Covid-19 Pandemic, financial year 2023 FINANCIAL saw MKA UK substantially increasing its activities as included in the strategic report. REVIEW Whilst efforts were made to reduce costs in an efficient manner, a high inflationary environment contributed to significantly higher costs for our National Convention (Ijtema). This has resulted in a deficit in the current year. The Trustee will continue to review the activities of the Charity and its associated costs to ensure an efficient and effective use of its resources over the coming years.
During the year, MKA UK also invested in a residential property which has been partially financed by the cash reserves of the Charity and through a long-term mortgage debt. This is a significant milestone for the charity and the property is to be used for the purposes of hosting guests of the community.
The risk to income is low as the majority of the members happily pay their subscriptions without much effort. A relatively smaller number when approached happily make donations. A larger focus is on the moral training of the members and our work has helped in raising awareness of the excellent works carried out by the MKA (UK) for the community. This is expected to have a positive impact on our future income as well.
FUTURE The Trustees continue to explore new ways to increase efficiency and effectiveness of PLANS finding ways to achieve the objectives of the charity. The trustees seek to actively
promote the objectives of the charity in the following twelve months.

OUR RESPONSIBILITIES FOR THE AUDIT OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue a Report of the Independent Auditor that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:
Based on our understanding of the charitable company and the environment in which it operates, we identified that the principal risks of non-compliance with laws and regulations related to regulatory requirements charities and companies in England and Wales, and we considered the extent to which noncompliance might have a material effect on the financial statements. We also considered those laws and regulations that have a direct impact on the preparation of the financial statements such as the Companies Act 2006, the Charities Act 2011, income tax and payroll tax.
We evaluated management’s incentives and opportunities for fraudulent manipulation of the financial statements (including the risk of override of controls), and determined that the principal risks were related to posting inappropriate journal entries to revenue and management bias in accounting estimate and application of controls around authorisation of expenditure and payments.

performed by the engagement team included:
-
Discussions with management including consideration of known or suspected instances of non-compliance with laws and regulation and fraud;
-
Evaluating management’s controls designed to prevent and detect irregularities;
omission or misrepresentation.
A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the statements is financial located on the Financial Reporting Council’s website at www.frc.org. uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our Report of the Independent Auditor.
-
Inspecting correspondence with regulators and tax authorities;
-
• Challenging assumptions and judgements made by management in their critical accounting estimates.
-
Identifying and testing journals, in particular journal entries postings by unusual users or with unusual descriptions; and
Because of the inherent limitations of an audit, there is a risk that we will not detect all irregularities, including those leading to a material misstatement in the financial statements or non-compliance with regulation. This risk increases the more that compliance with a law or regulation is removed from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, as we will be less likely to become aware of instances of non-compliance. The risk is also greater regarding irregularities occurring due to fraud rather than error, as fraud involves intentional concealment, forgery, collusion,
